Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  get rid of nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu() calling nameidata_drop_rcu()
  drop out of RCU in return_reval
  split do_revalidate() into RCU and non-RCU cases
  in do_lookup() split RCU and non-RCU cases of need_revalidate
  nothing in do_follow_link() is going to see RCU
